Jean-Michel Cousteau joins Gant in unique collaboration

Continuing the "Our commitments reflect our passions" theme, GANT has yet
again teamed up with individuals who are passionate, dedicated and
committed to working with issues that make a difference. As founder and
president of his non-profit marine, environmental and educational
organization, Jean-Michel Cousteau together with his two children, Celine
and Fabien Cousteau, have devoted their lives to educating and inspiring
environmental awareness of the marine world. The active maritime lifestyle
they lead is an inspiration to GANT's spring collection.

Jean-Michel Cousteau has traveled the world raising ocean awareness.
Carrying on the legacy established by his father, legendary ocean explorer
Jacques Cousteau, Jean-Michel has touched millions through his Emmy-awarded
filmmaking, lectures, education programs and pioneering work in raising
public awareness of the problems faced by the world's marine environments.
His passion and knowledge have influenced world leaders and policymakers.
He says about the collaboration: "I am very excited to work together with
GANT on this project that also supports the Ocean Futures Society. We share
the same commitment and passion for an active water lifestyle and the
ocean, which is such an integral part of our lives."

The campaign and the GANT spring collection will be presented February 2007
in all 73
countries where GANT merchandise is available. GANT is a global premium
lifestyle brand that perfectly combines American casualness with European
elegance. GANT's values have been based on the brand's heritage of an
American active lifestyle since the start of the company in 1949. GANT
offers a full range of clothing and accessories for men, women and kids.
Home furnishings, watches, footwear, eyewear, and fragrance are licenses
incorporated under the GANT brand name.

"We are delighted to continue the `Our commitments reflect our passions'
theme with Jean-Michel Cousteau," says Arthur Engel, CEO of GANT AB. "The
Cousteau family is passionate about exploring and protecting the ocean.
Their dedication and admirable work through Ocean Futures Society
represents an enthusiastic conviction and dynamic lifestyle that GANT
shares."
